Episode 10 Chapter 344

Chapter 344: The Military Government Hall of Feng State was led by the Left Prime Minister Qiu Zhen, assisted by Cai Gui, Guo Jue and other advisers. Read the full text.

Seeing the troop distribution map that Tang Yin brought, everyone gathered around and discussed in low voices while examining it carefully. After a lot of research, the opinions of the Military Government Hall and Tang Yin were basically the same, and they both believed that this force distribution map was more likely to be true.

Cai Gui said thoughtfully: "According to the information we currently know, the military strength of Surabaya County in Mo State has increased to about 300,000, and the total military strength marked on this military distribution map is exactly 320,000. This is consistent with The information we have received is consistent, but even so, we cannot take it lightly. Even if the total military strength is correct, if the distribution of military forces in various places is inaccurate, this map will be like a piece of waste paper. "

Tang Yin nodded and said faintly: "You are right. Just sitting here studying and analyzing will never figure out whether this force distribution map is true or false. If you want to find out, you have to go and check it on the spot. !”

Qiu Zhen asked: "What does the king mean..."

Tang Yin said: "Arrange the Sky Eye and the Earth Network to investigate. It is not necessary to check all the places, but at least a few key points must be understood, and then check it with this force distribution map to know its authenticity."

Qiu Zhen thought about it, but it seemed that there was no better way. He raised his hands and said, "Yes! Your Majesty! I will explain this matter to General Le and General Ai later!"

Cai Gui smiled and said: "Actually, this force distribution map is of very limited use to us. The reason why the king is eager to find out its authenticity is because he wants to use it to judge whether Peng Cheng is really surrendering or pretending to surrender. If Peng Cheng If Cheng really surrenders, it will be very beneficial to us. Not to mention the 300,000 defenders in Sishui County, even if there are twice as many, our army can easily defeat the county. "

Tang Yin looked up and smiled, and at the same time, he secretly admired Cai Gui's quick thinking for guessing his own thoughts so thoroughly.

He said nothing more and said to Qiu Zhen: "This matter must be handled as soon as possible. The nights are long and there are many dreams. If Peng Cheng really surrenders, we must not miss this opportunity."

Qiu Zhen said seductively: "I understand, your Majesty, please feel free."

Tang Yin was of course relieved that he was doing things, and then he explained a few words, leaving this force distribution map, and led the people out of the military government hall.

On the same day, Lotte and Ai Jia both ordered their subordinate Feige to send a letter to their own spies lurking in Surabaya County, asking them to find out as much as possible about the distribution of troops in the county's garrison. If there are places that are heavily defended and have no holes to penetrate, it is okay not to investigate. However, for those places where the defense is lax, be sure to investigate clearly. And the most important point is to be quick and report as soon as possible.

After Letian and Ai Jia gave orders, Tianyan and Diwang's spies in Sishui County immediately took action to conduct a comprehensive survey of the number of defenders in various places in Sishui County. Pieces of intelligence were constantly sent back to the country with flying pigeons. Yancheng.

All the returned intelligence was finally compiled here at the Military Government Hall, and people compared it with the force distribution map provided by Peng Cheng. Of course, the two data could not be exactly the same. There would be some discrepancy, just the amount of the discrepancy. They are not big, and it can be judged from this that the troop distribution map provided by Peng Cheng is indeed true.

After reaching this conclusion, Tang Yin was very happy and sent an order to Shao Jun of Cangping, asking him to immediately send someone to contact Peng Cheng. As long as the latter was willing to surrender, he would accept whatever conditions he proposed.

New Mo country, Cangping. After receiving Tang Yin's order, Shao Jun did not dare to neglect, and immediately called General Shao Yu to discuss with him what to do about the matter.

Even though Shao Jun was the prince of the New Mo Kingdom, among the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one he could trust was Shao Yu.

The imperial court of New Mo Kingdom is all under the control of Feng Ren. The left and right prime ministers and imperial censors are all Feng Ren. From top to bottom, only General Shao Yu is on Shao Jun's side.

Shao Jun explained the matter to Shao Yu, and then said: "King Feng has entrusted me with this matter. However, in order to win over Peng Cheng, a powerful minister must be sent to Sishui County. My dear nephew, you Look...here, who should I send?"

He wanted to send Shao Yu there, but it was hard to say it. Sishui County is the territory of Mo State. Going to Sishui County is also full of risks. If you make a mistake, you will have to hand over your life there.

Shao Yu is so smart, he understood what Shao Jun meant as soon as he heard it. He was angry and angry, and his teeth were itching. In the whole court, he and Shao Jun were the only ones who had an uncle-nephew relationship, and only he and Shao Jun were in the same boat. But it was good now. For such a dangerous job, Shao Jun chose himself instead of others. It was really unbelievable. I don't know if he has brains or straw in his head. He suppressed his anger and rolled his eyes. After a while, he said, "Why doesn't the king send his right minister Lu She?"

"Oh?" Shao Jun opened his mouth wide and looked at Shao Yu in surprise.

Shao Yu explained: "First of all, Lu She is a well-known lobbyist in the Feng Kingdom. It is perfect for him to contact Peng Cheng. Secondly, Lu She is a Feng person and does not share the same aspirations with the king. Let him go If Sishui County unfortunately dies there, it will not cause any loss to the king. On the contrary, it will remove a thorn in the side. Moreover, it is the king's credit to let Lu She go and the matter is done. If it is messed up, it is Feng Ren's fault. Yes, King Feng won’t be able to blame the king at that time.”

After hearing what Shao Yu said, Shao Jun was startled. Hearing the meaning behind his words, he completely put himself in an opposition position to Feng Guo.

He looked around nervously. Fortunately, there was no one around. He said nervously: "My dear nephew, don't say anything careless. It was King Feng who saved me at the beginning, and it is still King Feng who helps me establish a country in Cangping now. How can I... go against King Feng?"

Shao Yu almost laughed out of anger. It seems that Shao Jun still regards Tang Yin as a good person and a lifesaver! He shook his head secretly. No wonder Tang Yin was willing to choose him as the king of Xinmo. If he were in his place, he would also choose such a fool.

He said meaningfully: "If the King of Feng really wanted to help the King, he would not have replaced all the important officials in the court with Feng people and undermined the King's power!"

Shao Jun explained: "The King of Feng did this to help me govern the country..."

Shao Yu was too lazy to argue with him, and said seriously: "Uncle Wang, my nephew will never harm you. You must be right to listen to my nephew on this matter. Lu She is the best candidate to accept Peng Cheng. Uncle Wang just needs to assign him to do it."

Shao Yu and Shao Jun couldn't explain the reason clearly, so he could only use family affection to persuade Shao Jun. Shao Jun just fell for it. He thought about it for a while, nodded helplessly, and said: "Okay, let's do it according to my nephew's wishes and let the right prime minister accept Peng Cheng."

The next day, at the morning court, Shao Jun announced this matter in public.

The news that Peng Cheng wanted to defect to his side had long been a hot topic in the court of Xinmo State. Lu She had known about it for a long time. Although he was a little surprised that Shao Jun assigned him to do it, he did not refuse. After all, Shao Jun was still the monarch on the surface, and he, as a minister, could not be too polite or excessive. Moreover, in his opinion, it was also an opportunity to make merit to persuade Peng Cheng to surrender. Peng Cheng did have the idea of ​​defecting, so persuading him to surrender was a piece of cake.

Lu She did not think much about it and agreed on the spot.

After the court was dismissed, the left prime minister Fan Shanyou came to him and advised him not to take this job because it was too dangerous. Lu She did not agree. Of course, he would not leave for Sishui County immediately, but would send someone to test the waters first.

On that day, he sent his trusted confidant to Sishui in plain clothes to contact Peng Cheng. The people he sent met Peng Cheng smoothly, but the latter did not talk to him at all, and hastily sent him back, and made it very clear that if Xinmo Kingdom really valued him, it would naturally send someone of sufficient weight to talk to him. If only an unknown person was sent, he would not be valued even if he defected to Xinmo Kingdom. Instead of this, it would be better not to surrender.

When the confidant returned to Cangping and met Lu She, he reported to him about his trip. The latter fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time. It seems that it is not enough to send only subordinates. If you want to surrender Peng Cheng, you have to use high-ranking officials.

Lu She was still very cautious. Before things were not completely sure, he did not dare and did not want to take risks himself. He appointed the Grand Herald Ye Xiang and the Prime Minister's Chief Secretary Yu Ting to sneak into Sishui County and contact Peng Cheng.

This time he sent no unknown person. The Grand Herald and the Prime Minister's Chief Secretary, one is from the first rank and the other is the third rank, both of which are considered high-ranking officials.

After the two of them met Peng Cheng, the latter's attitude had changed significantly. He treated the two of them as honored guests and entertained them warmly.

During the banquet, through conversation, Ye Xiang felt that Peng Cheng did have the intention to defect, but he still had many concerns, which made it difficult for him to make up his mind.

As a Grand Master of Ceremonies, Ye Xiang was a diplomat, good at observing people's expressions and good at speaking. He said seriously: "Whatever conditions Lord Peng has, you can just put forward. If I can agree to them, I will definitely satisfy Lord Peng."

Hearing this, Peng Cheng's eyes lit up, and then he slowly asked: "If I say I want to be a general, can Lord Ye agree?"

Ye Xiang took a breath of cold air when he heard this, and looked at each other with Yu Ting, and said: "This... I still need to go back to the capital to meet the king, please let the king decide!"

Peng Cheng nodded. Such an important matter is certainly not something that a mere Grand Master of Ceremonies can decide. He asked with a smile: "Which king will Lord Ye ask for instructions?"

"Of course it's my king, His Royal Highness Prince Mo!" Ye Xiang said as a matter of course.

Peng Cheng shook his head and said: "No! I want to see the order of His Royal Highness Prince Feng! In fact, it doesn't matter who comes to accept my surrender, as long as he is a Feng person, no matter how high or low his official position is, even if he is just a small official, as long as he has the order of His Royal Highness Prince Feng, I will surrender."

He also had a thorough understanding of the New Mo Kingdom and knew that Shao Jun was just a cover. His order was useless. The real order was Tang Yin's order. As long as Prince Feng agreed that he would be the general of the New Mo Kingdom, it would basically be a done deal, and no one could change it.
